One of the world’s most respected and powerful peacekeepers has been murdered, and the seven Kingdoms see it as an omen. Armies are raised in secret. The peacekeepers, known as Guardians, begin to disappear, and darkness has spread over the valley. Bringing hope to all is a young warrior from a distant future, that now seeks to change the chaos to come. But the world is far different than he remembers. Friends he has known are long dead. Familiar names have the wrong faces, and his enemies are far more relentless as they pursue his knowledge of coming events.

The Last of the Guardians is a beautifully crafted narrative of finding light in the darkness and hope in the impossible.
